Living the Best Life with Fibromyalgia

Cinnamon, ginger and turmeric are anti-inflammatory foods that provide great natural pain relief for chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia.

I would definitely say they should be included in one’s diet if one battles a behemoth like fibromyalgia.

My family has long used these ingredients to treat a host of symptoms from colds, pain, internal cleanses, digestive problems and irritable bowel syndrome.

My handbook Living the Best Life with Fibromyalgia is now available in paperback & e book formats from Amazon, and other online retailers like Barnes & Noble, Smashwords and Kobo. It will soon be available on itunes.

But through dietary and lifestyle changes I was able to take back my life. If I can do it then so can you.
